A. WILSON TYPE COMPOSITION BINDING FRAME Filed March 4.. 1926 3 Sheets-Sheet 3 draw the frame as an entity from the page type-composition through the employment of any suitable withdrawing apparatus of the type set forth in my patent application above referred to.

In Fig. 9, I illustrate amodifled form of floating hinge. In this form of construction the spring piece 33 is secured at its inner end by means'of rivets 34: to the end piece 12 as before and is bent outwardly at 35 to repose on a rib like fulcrum 36 as before,

but this form of the spring piece extends entirely to the lower edge 37 of the end piece 12 and it has an extension 38 which extends behind the bottom hinge knuckle 15 of the adjacent side wall. The purpose of this arrangement is to reenforce the floating hinge connection between the end wall adjacent the side wall and to prevent any turning or twisting of the spring piece 32 during the withdrawal of the frame from the page typecomposition. v

The utility of the foregoing binding frame arises largely out of the provision of the floating end wall 12 and out of the relation thereto of the opposite end wall 13. From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will be seen'that an effective frame has been disclosed for binding and retaining page type-composition, and one in which the floating end will enable the introduction of leads and in which the opposite end is capable of serving as a lever in quickly and effectively forcing the component parts of the type-con'iposition into a compacted page.

While I have illustrated. and described the preferred form of construction for carrying my invention into eflect, this is capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I, there- .fore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the S00 e of the a pended claims.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A binding frame for type-composition including hinge connected walls for, walling in the type-composition; the hinges for said walls lying wholly outwardly beyond the binding line formed by said walls; one of said hinges being formed to afford a floating resilient connection coacting withv one of said walls to produce a type embracing enclosure, substantially as described.

2. A binding frame for type-composition including connected walls for walling in the type-composition; one of said walls being resiliently floatingly connected; and means for forcing the type-composition'in thedirection of said floatingly connected wall, substantially as described, I

. A binding frame for type-composition comprising connected walls including as a feature an end wall floatingly connected between side walls; and an opposing end wall'arranged to be operated in the capacity of a lever, to force the type-composition in the direction of said floatingly connected wall, substantially as described.

l. A binding frame for type-composition con'ipris'ing side walls; an end wall floatingly connected between said side walls; and an opposing en-dwall hinged to one of the side walls and having means for interlocking with the other of the side walls, substantially as described. I

5. In a binding'frame for type-composition, a pair of walls provided with hinge knuckles; a pair of opposed walls; floating hinge knuckles onone of said opposed walls cooperating with the hinge knuckles of the pair of walls; and hinge pins connecting the hinge knncklesof thepair of walls with the hinge-knuckles of one of the opposed walls, substantially as described.

6. A binding frame for type-composition including connected four walls adapted to embrace the type-coi'nposition andprovided each on its outerside with a longitudinal rib, one of said walls having hinge means adapted to co-act with and provide a floating connection with one of the other walls, substantially as described. 1

7 In a binding frame for type-composil'ion, a pair of walls provided each with top and bottom hinge knuckles; a pair of opposed walls; floating members on one of the opposed walls provided with hingeknuckles fitting between said top and bottom hinge knuckles; hinge pins connecting said top and bottom hinge knuckles and the interfitting hinge knuckles of the floating memhaving a hinge connected to one of the other of said walls, whereby a resilient, floating connection thereto is obtained substantally as described.

9. A binding frame for type composition including walls for embracing the compositlon, connections between said Walls, and resilient means in said connections to permitv one of the Walls to be moved relatively to the other well With which it is connected, substantially as described.

10. In a binding frame for type composition a pair of Walls provided With hinge knuckles, a third .Wall, knuckles on said third Wall cooperating with floating hinge the hinge knuckles on the pair of Walls, hinge pins connecting the hinge knuckles on the pair of Walls With the hinge knuckles on the third Wall, and means whereby the third Wall may be tensioned against the floating hinge knuckles substantially as described.

In testimony whereof Ihave signed my name to this specification.
